Dr. Boltchi received his dental degree from the Medical University of Hannover in Germany and a certificate in periodontics associated with a Master of Science degree in oral biology from Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas. He is a clinical assistant professor in the graduate periodontics program at Baylor College of Dentistry and maintains a full-time private practice in periodontics and dental implants in Arlington, TX. He has achieved board certification status with the American Board of Periodontology and is a Fellow of the International Team for Implantology. He is a frequent speaker and clinical educator for various manufacturers, including Dentsply Sirona.

 There’s a lot to balance in dentistry, from occlusion and esthetics to patient expectations and the practice’s bottom line. Bone regeneration procedures are no exception, and in the case of socket grafting—a procedure designed to preserve bone volume for implant placement, improve esthetic outcomes, and create an optimized healing environment—it’s important to find a material that balances structural support with the potential for new bone regeneration.

 

Versatile Yet Familiar

 

“I’ve been using Symbios Allografts for about 6 months, primarily for socket grafts after extraction, but they also can be used in sinus grafts, defects around implants, or to build ridges that are narrow or lacking height,” said Dr. Farhad Boltchi, a peri­odontist in Arlington, TX. “So far, the cases we’ve grafted with this material have turned out very positive with excellent outcomes. As far as bone regeneration, we were able to place implants into all the sites without any adverse outcomes.”

 

The Symbios Granules portfolio by RegenX features both mineralized and demineralized cortical and cancellous granules—offering a safe and predictable solution with the familiar handling doctors can expect from the Symbios family of bone and soft-tissue generation materials. The material features a newly selected granule size that enhances performance and versatility.

 

A Stimulating Combination

 

The Symbios Putty and Dermis portfolio by MTF Biologics includes a ready-to-use demineralized bone putty with a high (93% by volume) bone content, as well as a minimally processed soft-tissue graft.

 

According to Dr. Boltchi, who prefers using the Symbios granules, one of the key factors to look for when choosing a bone grafting material—along with quality and particle size—is resorption profile.

 

“This material has a good resorption profile be­cause it combines slow resorbing and fast resorbing into one graft material, which is advantageous,” he said. “It means we can use it anywhere that we want it to eventually turn over into the patient’s bone.”

 

Regeneration You Can Trust

 

With 2 trusted partners—RegenX and MTF Biologics—Dentsply Sirona adheres to the strictest standards, ensuring that Symbios Allograft materials undergo rigorous donor screening criteria with less than 2%* of donations accepted.

 

“Dentsply Sirona is very particular about quality and safety of the materials that they sell, which means you can be 100% sure that this material is derived from a trusted source. Symbios Allografts come from a U.S.-accredited tissue bank, so it’s a good choice to meet our safety goals. On top of that, it’s an effective material.”
